ICE
I got this from a sis. I agree that its quite important and I just thought I’d share it with you.
We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/ numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?
In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the
people attending us get hold of our mobile phone but don’t know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are many numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?
For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In Case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, an
important method of contact during emergency situations.
As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the
number of a contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as" ICE" ( In Case of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call.
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a
nationally recognized name for this purpose.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital
staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply
dialing the number stored as "ICE".
Please forward this. It won’t take too many "forwards" before every body will know about this.
It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest.
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!
Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today.
Im using a Motorola Phone & I can store duplicate phone numbers under different names so this shouldn’t be a problem. Although, I currently live in Philippines and I have my home phone number stored under the name BAHAY (which generally means home/house in the local language). I guess we can also consider using that name for home phones. That is if anyone at that number can be considered important enough to call during an emergency. 
I also googled the word ICE and I came up with a site that works as a personal assistant for medics to call "In Case of Emergency". Emergency services will contact ICE and ICE will provide the information needed by the medical staff about you or a loved one. They also provide you with a personal ID code on a card, stickers and key tabs! Pretty neat huh?! Well if you want to know more about them just hover and click on ICE.
You can also click on this. Its also related to ICE.
